As we look forward to 2018, we consider new year’s resolutions! The most common resolution every single year is to get healthy/fit. Unfortunately, many of those making this resolution have made it year after year. So, as 2017 comes to a close, we wanted to give you a few ideas of how to keep this resolution in the new year.

How to Keep Your Health Resolution

Getting healthy in the new year can mean a lot more than just losing some weight. Here are some ideas for keeping your health resolutions:

Define your resolution. Make sure your resolution is closely defined. A general “get fit” resolution can be difficult to keep.

Think about all the things that make you healthy. Getting healthy for the new year can mean different things to different people. It may involve going to the gym more often, eating more salads, or buying organic.

Make small, attainable goals. Many people become over ambitious when they write their resolutions. They say things like “I will go to the gym every day this year.” And then, when they have to miss the gym one day, their entire resolution is a failure. Instead, set a goal like “I will do 30 minutes of exercise three times a week.” So, if you miss a day at the gym or you have to exercise at home, you haven’t failed your goal.

Consider your health from the outside in. Your skin is your largest organ and you absorb chemicals, vitamins, minerals, and more through it. So, consider what you put on your skin along with what you put inside your body.
